Soon after dessert, Eric and his family went to bed. This was when the thunderstorm started.
----------------------------------------
Eric
“ BOOM!….POW!…. CRACK! These aggressive patterns of sounds went on for hours, preventing my sister and me from falling asleep. Eventually, the sounds of thunder and lightning start to die down. This was when I started feeling more relaxed and ready to fall asleep. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a loud and horrid scream coming from outside.
The first scream manages to grab Eric and Sara’s full attention. Soon, more and more people start screaming. Now the entire family is awake.
“ What’s going on out there?” Julia says in a cranky voice.
“ Monster! Monster!” They hear a guy scream desperately at the top of his lungs.
This alerts John. He gets out of bed and goes to find a weapon. He stumbles across his sword and his ax. He looks at both of them, deciding on which one he will use. He picks up the ax and heads for the door.
John: “ I need you to stay here and protect your mother and sister…I’m gonna go see what’s going on outside. Use the sword to defend yourself.” John says to Eric.
Eric: “Got it” He responds.
As soon as John leaves the house, Eric and his mother rush to the window to see what’s going on.
Eric
I look out the window and see red lighting coming from the sky and a Tribe of Goblin looking warriors Destroying and Raiding our town. All of a sudden, I see one of the goblins approaching my Father. This one was bigger than the others I saw. It had armor and was holding a big spiky club. But for some reason my dad didn’t seem the slightest bit frightened, Instead, he stood his ground.
----------------------------------------
John and the Goblin have a stare-down for a few seconds. And then, the goblin charges at him and attacks John with his club. John dodges the attack and lands a successful counterattack in his eye. The goblin roars in pain, it backs up and rips out the ax stuck in on his face, throws it far away and roars once again.
----------------------------------------
Eric
At this point, my Father knew his chances of survival were slim. But that didn’t seem to concern him. My Father started to bang on his chest like a gorilla, then let out a ferocious battle cry and charged at the goblin. He successfully jumps onto the goblin, gets on his shoulders, and starts punching his face repeatedly. The goblin finally gets a hold of him and throws him to the ground. My mom shrieked and looked away, closing her eyes as if she knew what would come next. I proceeded to watch the fight, waiting for my dad to get up, he was trying his best, but he couldn’t stand up. He was injured.

----------------------------------------
The goblin walked up to John, raised his club as high as he could, and hit him to finish him off. He proceeded to hit him over and over until his remains were all bloody mush. After that, the goblin slowly turns around and looks at Eric through the window. Half of his face is covered in blood. Eric is petrified, his legs and hands are shaking. He just witnessed his father, the man he looked up to all his life get slaughtered by a monster. The goblin slowly started walking over to the house. At this point Eric could no longer hear his mom and sister screaming, he was too caught up in his trauma.
Eric
Suddenly, everything started to lose color. Everything around me started to turn white.
----------------------------------------
“Did I pass out?” Eric thought.
“No, You didn’t pass out. I transported you to my Domain.” A mysterious voice says.
“Who said that?!”
“I’ll answer that question another time. Right now you need to focus on surviving, good luck.”
Eric is transported back to the real world. But now, He no longer has a rusty sword. The sword had a black handle with a shiny gold cross guard. The blade was so clear he could see his reflection perfectly. Eric sees that the goblin is now in his house and is about to attack his mom and sister. Both of them were screaming at the top of their lungs.
“Hey! Come fight me instead!” Eric shouts.
The goblin lets out a huge roar in response. Both of them simultaneously charge at each other with an attack, Their weapons clash with each other, resulting in not only a test of strength but willpower as well. At first, Eric appeared to be holding his own, but eventually, the goblin’s strength became overbearing for him. He slowly started getting back into a corner, But then, all of the memories of his father came flooding back to him. This angered him. Eric lets out a raging scream, and sparks of lightning start coming from his body. His eyes start to turn bright yellow, and his sword blade turns to solid gold and develops a bright golden-yellow aura around it. as he continues to rage, suddenly, a yellow lightning bolt strikes the house hitting the goblin directly, making the entire rooftop collapse. The goblin starts dissolving into red little sparks. Eventually, the sparks begin to vanish into thin air, erasing it from existence.
“That’s vengeance you bastard.” Eric says while watching the sparks disappear. He walks over to the corner and pulls his mom and sister out of the rubble.
Julia: “ Eric, I'm so glad you're okay!”
She gives him a big hug while crying.
Sara: “ What happened to Papa?Where is he?”
The room goes silent. Eric’s eyes begin to water, and the image of his dad getting slaughtered comes back into his mind. He turns around and begins walking towards the exit.
“Where are you going, Eric?” Julia says.
“I’m going to slaughter the rest of them.”
“There’s no reason Eric, you’d just be-”
“-What do you mean there’s no reason?! You think I should just let them continue killing innocent civilians?!” Eric Yelled.
Suddenly, 2 goblins came in, they were about the same size as Eric. The first goblin swings for his head, Eric ducks and decapitates him instead. Then, Eric evades the second goblin attack and slices his body into two. The goblins start turning to red particles again. Eric let out a heavy sigh.
Eric: “ See? I can handle myself. No need to worry about me.”
Eric slowly walks out the door. He closes his eyes. He starts thinking about his father again. This made him enter a state of extreme vexation, causing his adrenaline to go through the roof. Sparks of lightning started coming from his body again. His eyes turned bright yellow, He began to charge at the goblins, slaughtering them one by one with his enchanted sword, left and right until there were no more.
In the end, most of Calathea village was destroyed. Many people died, but tons of lives were saved as well. All thanks to Eric’s valor.
Eric: “That was vengeance for you Father… Hope you're proud of-” He collapses and falls to the ground.
